Really enjoying the picks this year. So far everything is new to me. Thanks! Edit - just noticed the catch after the bind got cut off, i swear it’s my lazy editing not a cover up of a miss. ---

**Week 8 — Pancake Flip by Bella Freestylin’** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/1/a/11afa366d5ab680da87067e01bf605918fc9fcc1.jpeg "SLUSNY Tutorial - PANCAKE FLIP by Bella Freestylin") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYv4Ww10CJI) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/f/f2fb145788cd35dfbba102aa6559646ad5fdd39e.jpeg "Bella Freestylin's Pancake Flip | Sleeper's POV Yo-yo Trick Tutorials") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhwu9JgH9EU) This week’s trick is pancake flip. A couple of little tips: 1. Don’t forget to switch to your thumb near the beginning. If you want to, you can even just land the trapeze over your thumb. 2. A big part of the trick is the timing of the flips. Starting the TH with a little rotation basically immediately after the undercut helped me (you can see it at :29 in Bella’s video). 3. If you need to, don’t be afraid to almost pinch the string against your hand with your NTH thumb to maintain the slack. It can help get the motion down while you’re learning. This is a fun one, if you learn it quickly, take a look at [Akitoshi Tokubuchi’s escape from the end](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfw5oHOn9iY) — there’s a lot of similarity in the movements. ---

I got that down after ten minutes of trying. I obsessed over forming the upside down triangle for about two hours. (Maybe a bit less than that). I finally was satisfied with the result. Turns out I was doing it fine all along. In the beginning I was lifting both my hands in an exaggerated fashion with no reason but unconscious reflex. Anyways, enough yapping : > **[George Koutsostathis on Instagram: "Trick-a-Week 8: Pancake Flip....](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGdpmSQtzzh/?igsh=dTAxcW13cmtjM2Fu)** > > 0 likes, 0 comments - georgeskoutsostathis on February 24, 2025: "Trick-a-Week 8: Pancake Flip. @yoyoexpert > > Yoyo: @mikemontyyoyos Mori. > Atring: Project 44 Fat Medium Coarse. > > ■■■■■■■■■■■ #trickcircle #todaythrow #yoyos #cooltricks #yoyo #yoyoing... ---

Bro don’t hate me but i think you might have missed something here bc the upside down gt didnt form. You want to hit the top string and it looks like you didn’t do that. Like taw isnt skill addicts and theres no real like must be exactly correct so just uh fyi no need to like redo it or anything [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/trick-a-week-2025-52-control-workshop/416377.md?page=15) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/trick-a-week-2025-52-control-workshop/416377.md?page=17)
